[Q] Clockwork Recovery problem

First.. I want to say hello and that i've been reading around these forums for quite a while since I got my Droid about a year ago. I haven't posted anything till now.. but that's only because everyone else usually get's the answers typed faster than me. lol
On to the problem... I think I screwed up. I JUST bought this thing today. I got a little too excited about getting this tablet rooted and might have jumped the gun a little. I used the apk that has been around to root. No problems there. I got ROM Manager loaded... and I ended up flashing the newest recovery from there before realizing that everyone else says to use something else.
So... at this point, i'm unable to reboot into recovery at all. It starts up, acts like it's about to, and then just reboots again into the OS instead. Is there a way to fix this and get it on the correct recovery image or have I totally screwed myself over? Maybe through ADB? I can only tolerate this horrid TnT OS for so long. Took me 20 minutes to get it to update without a FC... Browser, weather, calendar, and a bunch of other stuff FC on me when I tried starting.. Fortunately, those issues are less frequent with the update, but still not working keeping.
I need some "stock(CyanogenMod)" Froyo goodness.. lol I can't have my year and a half old phone outclass this tablet for too long. If anyone can offer any help on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

The good news is you are still booting into the OS, so I doubt you've screwed anything up too bad. Most likely Clockwork Mod just never flashed so you are still running with the gimpy stock recovery and it's puking on the update.zip file you have on your internal sd card for some reason.
First suggestion is get a copy of Clockwork Mod 0.8 and try installing it. The instructions here are geared toward installing from an external from an external MicroSD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245 I am not certain why they say that's the only way to do it, since I never did it that way.
I just downloaded this: http://www.mediafire.com/?dvleg4oatkfxm7w and stuck the update.zip and recovery folder into my /sdcard directory, then turned my tablet off, then held down Vol+ and turned it back on. Clockwork Mod should install itself and boots into Clockwork Mod, and that was that.
I never used ROM Manager at all on my G Tablet, so I can't speak to doing anything that way, but I would stick with the tried and true methods at least until you have Clockwork Mod running.
If that fails and you really can't get any recovery working, maybe something did get botched and you might need to use nvflash to fix it, but I doubt it.
Once you get Clockwork Mod running properly, just copy over the update.zip for TNT Lite or Vegan ROM, flash, and wipe data, then you should be good to go.

Worked perfectly and entirely from the tablet! I installed CM6.1 and I'm a bit upset at the lack way it looks, but then, its packed for smaller screens, so I understand. Thank you for the quick reply. I'm off to try TnT Lite now.

[Q] Getting CWM installed on new ICS firmware Galaxy S2

Hi folks and especially Chainfire if he is tracking nu-bees,
Nu-bee here. Just installed Resurrection Remix Pro ICS firmware following instructions at Galaxy2Root.com. They had me install 3 files with the Remix package, GoogleApps and GoogleAppsFix. All went well. Then the instructions told me to install 10_CWM.zip so that ClockWorkMod would work. But CWM had been overwritten, so I couldn´t install something from my internal sdcard. I thought I would be clever and install one of Chainfire´s custom CF-root packages. I selected one close to the kernel number I have installed (LPJ). I flashed it over with Odin.
No joy. The phone booted, showed the opening logo and then lay there with a black screen. But CWM recovery still was active, so I wiped the system and reinstalled the files this time including 10_CWM.zip (4 files). This time I have ICS but CWM is gone again. I´d like to back up the ROM.
I´d like suggestions as to how to get CWM installed. I would be most grateful! I read the entire 450 page set of posts on Chainfire´s CF-root upgrades (whew). I´d use one of those if I was confident that I wouldn´t go back to a black screen again.....

still trying
Well, I haven´t gotten much of a response with this. With this 10 post limit for noobies, I can´t get to the developers forum where I would find the folks who grapple with these kinds of issues.
Anyway, I flashed the latest of Chainfires kernels, the LP7 version, and ended up with a black screen again. So I went into restore (and had CWM restore at least) and restored my ROM, etc. But of course, I lost CWM in the process. And had to reconfigure my phone all over again. I had used My Backup Pro and it didn´t save the connections to the Google Market, so I had to reinstall my apps all over again. Is Titanium better in this regard? My Backup Pro claims to make better backups for rooted phones, but this was pretty feeble.
So that will be my question for this forum - should I change to Titanium? Will it get all my apps, settings, and data back into my preferred configuration?
Have a great day......

I am in same boat as you are. I buy i just installed rom with Rom manager and i have Gapps fixer and remix one left and CWM ofcourse. So my problem is i don't have Ex-sd as they suggest to Install "Cwm.zip from external sd card from recovery". How to do so ?
Please help
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Never mind I sort it out Yesterday. I installed from Rom manager & Flash recovery from it and then boot up into recovery from App and then Flash Touch Recovery.

[Q] Question concerning Dragonzkiller's Droid x2 CM9 Rom

Alright, so here goes. I've searched the thread for the issue I'm having, but have come up empty handed. I'm not Droid noob, especially not when it comes to flashing roms. But, here are the details I have.
I had been following dragonzkiller's development on his ICS rom. I hadn't really put forth any effort looking lately until yesterday, and saw that he had the wifi and camera fixed, which were really my two biggest issues, so when I saw that, I was excited. I began working on getting it all running. I've had the x2 for about 5 months or so, and usually, the first thing I do, as soon as I get a new phone, is root it. Back in April, I rooted with GingerBreak. Worked good, no issues there. Back in June, apparently I still received the OTA update taking it to 2.3.5-418, which I found out last night had kinda broken my root. So, I went back to find a way to re-root. I did that, with a desktop .exe that went in, and was supposed to flash BSR to my phone also. After I ran that, all my root permissions started asking for options again, so I was relieved. Now, for the issues I'm having.
I downloaded an app in the play store called Online Nandroid Backup. For some reason, and I think this may be a dev issue with the app, it won't run a backup, and tells me that it wasn't able to be granted superuser permissions, even though it is prompting and I'm allowing. Issue number two is this. I've tried 3 different ways to get this working. I used ROM Toolbox Lite, selected the rom I wanted to flash, and wipe data and cache, no delvik. I've selected to run a backup of my current rom. When it boots into recovery, I only have 4 options. Reboot your phone, something about installing the rom from sdcard, wipe data, and wipe cache. I'm not given the backup option on the recovery. Furthermore, when I kinda just decided that since I hadn't had any trouble flashing a rom to any of my other phones I've had, I would just try to flash the rom, it gives me a prompt about 25% through the rom package saying E: signature could not be verified, or something to that extent.
Even though it has said not to use Rom Manager, I did download that and try that, and got pretty much the same outcome of no rom, just a bit different scenario going through. Rom Manager won't reboot into recovery, and when I select to do a backup, it reboots the phone straight up. I also used the manual entrance into recovery, volume up, but it tells me something about starting RSD protocol, and sticks at that forever.
My real questions are this... I've always ever used CWM. All of my previous phones have been supported by Rom Manager nicely, so when it came to downloading and flashing a rom on them, no problems at all. I have never used BSR, to my knowledge, so I'm not sure if the recovery screen I'm seeing is the actual BSR recovery, or if it's some other recovery. If it's not BSR, do I just flash it like I would a rom, then re-run into that? And does the signature issue that I'm running into mean that I have to wait for a signed version of the rom in order to work it? Is there any way to fix this issue, or am I basically SOL right this moment? Any information on how I can fix all of this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Coby Kyros MID8127

Hi guys,
I just bought a new Coby Kyros MID8127 tablet (A8, Android 2.3) for my friend.
Now, I want to flash a custom ROM with JB on it, but I just did not find any ROM, CWM or tutorial for that here at XDA (or elsewhere).
Is it possible, that there is no custom ROM for that tablet to have?
Thank you in advance.
Greetings,
sYCO

I have the same tablet and I bought a custom ROM from the people at KTZ, however, I could not install this ROM successfully, in order to install it I had to take the tablet to factory reset state and then delete a bunch of system applications to make room for the new ROM because the ROM does not allow you to install it from a formatted system partition (it's more like an upgrade). But when I finally installed the ROM it wuold not boot a second time; what that means is that, after installation the ROM boots normally but if I reboot it gets caught in a loop where I just see a blue disk spinning and it doesn't do anything else and the only way to get it out of that loop is to connect the USB cable and boot to recovery via adb and restore the backup that i did before flashing the new ROM. I tried to get help from the guy who makes these ROMs but he wasn't very helpful. I followed all his instructions and always got the same result.
I managed to install manually most of the components of this ROM through a long process of trial and error and left out the components that make the tablet misbehave and now I have a hybrid on my tablet which works pretty well with the exception of the wifi. The wifi works but at times is painfully slow.
I tried other ROMs from Android Tablet forums (check here). There is an ICS Rom there (or more than one, I don't remember) and also a JB ROM for the 8127 but I could not make them work on my tablet. The ICS ROM installed fine and runs very fast but it keeps freezing so I uninstalled. The Jelly Bean did not install properly and it was very hard to get the tablet to a working state after it bricked.
That was a while ago and I haven't checked lately if there is something else out there.

Hey Guys,
Just found this link. Maybe you can try it out and tell me if it works for you.

Sorry, I gave that tablet back and cannot test it anymore. I rather recommend to buy an Ainol Novo 7 Crystal. It is cheaper, better and ****ing fast with a nice custom ROM support like CM 10, CM 10.1, Paranoid 3.0, Crystal-Fuse, ...
Btw, KTZ sucks totally.

Unable to restore/mount/flash in TWRP and unable to achieve dl mode in LG Flashtool

Here's to hoping someone can help me out. My phone details before I messed up: LG G3 D850, rooted, TWRP 3.0, running Fulmics 5.2 for about 1 1/2 weeks
I noticed that I was not seeing the LTE indicator on my phone. I checked the HUB and saw the BootD850-30012016 data patch and figured that I just needed to install. So I flashed it and my phone wouldn't start. I was able to boot into recovery, so I figured I would do a clean install of the ROM so I did a full wipe, accidentally wiping EVERYTHING except for my external SD.
Result was that I can access TWRP but am unable to flash any of my backups or zips from my external SD, or OTG. I can see the files, but don't have the option to "swipe". I also am unable to 'mount' or 'install'.
At this point, I noticed that AT&T has finally released the OTA for Marshmallow, so I figured I would just use LG FlashTool and totally un-root and give the update a try. (BTW, I have used the flash tool many times with no problems/issues on both my phone and my son's D855).
Unfortunately, I am getting the dreaded "unable to change to download mode" after 15 seconds. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash Tool, the LG Drivers and all files and used every port on both of my computers (Windows 10 btw) but can't get past the download error.
So...after many hours of digging, I took a leap of faith and was able to sideload Fulmics 5.1 successfully and install the 5.2 update from the HUB. I made backup of the ROM but TWRP still won't allow me to "swipe" and install/restore. I reinstalled TWRP using Flashify and it installed version 2.8 but still no go on flashing from recovery.
I realize that I'm lucky to have been able to figure out how to get the phone back using the sideload function in TWRP, but I really do want to go back to stock and it bugs me that I am unable to use my backups.
Sorry for the novel, but I wanted to be sure to include everything I did....if anyone can help me out I would be much obliged. My 11 year old is anxiously waiting on me to figure this out before she gets this phone (I'm moving up to the HTC 10 in a couple of weeks!). She still thinks I'm 'SuperMommy' so if I can fix this I get to keep my swagger!

I was also running fulmics 5.1 and updated to 5.2 in my phone but now i was having pretty good laggs and i finally realised that the update provided by the phone was corruped so i went on the official site and downloaded the same 5.2 OTAs from there and flashed it into TWRP recovery to finally get the latest version 5.3..know that is it always advisable to flash zip file when in recovery mode using TWRP recovery...The big mistake was cleaning also the internal memory of your phone.this caused the malfunction of twrp.

The issue is that most often i have seen cases of lagg in those updating to fulmics 5.2 from the Hub .sometimes in twrp recovery the update files will not successfully wipe and then reboot system with 5.2 installed but with many lagg the file downloaded there may be corrupted and not give you permission to swipe..if you really like fulmics and still update to the latest..Try this it may help you solve your problem:1 reinstall the fulmics 5.1 go to xdadevelopers.com/fulmics follow the link given by xpirit to www.fulmics.com and download the OTA 5.2(file size maybe 46 mb).. 2.reboot your phone now in twrp recovery it should now be able swipe and install..(if not then install Twrp 3.0 and try) 3-search the files in your internal memory or wherever you have downloaded it and flash it ..4.reboot system.That should be done!! In case you want to come back to stock and cant install from Twrp then the problem is with Twrp just download the latest version that goes with your phone.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I finally figured it out after a couple days of sweating and swearing. Yaneddik, you were spot on about updating from the Hub. I ended up installing TWRP 2.8.6 and re-installed 5.1 from the Fulmics website along with the updates. Everything has been working great (except for losing LTE connectivity, but that's for another thread!). I'm not inclined to update TWRP to 3.0 unless absolutely necessary, 2.8.6 works just fine for me.

Am a newbie here but a long time rooter on my older phones. This is the first time that I've seen the Hub mentioned. Can you kindly post a link?

Hey there....you can access the Hub after you flash the Fulmics ROM. It's where you can get your tweaks, downloads, mods, etc. You'll find it in your app drawer.
